The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) in India has taken regulatory action against multiple e-commerce platforms for facilitating the sale of unauthorized or hazardous substances.

In late September 2026, the CCPA fined Amazon, Flipkart, and JioMart for listing an unregistered herbicide marketed as ‘Cyclosinone Herbicide’. The regulator rejected the platforms’ claims that they were merely intermediaries, ruling that they have a legal obligation to verify the regulatory status of products. The companies were ordered to cease all sales and advertising of the product and conduct self-audits.

By October 2026, the CCPA expanded its enforcement to include seven digital platforms regarding the unauthorized listing of hazardous explosives, such as Ammonium Nitrate and Gun Powder. This action resulted in the delisting of 3,940 seller entries. While Dial4Trade and ExportersIndia faced significant fines, other major platforms including IndiaMART and Justdial are involved in ongoing legal proceedings or challenges regarding the CCPA’s notices.
